The two-stage architectural competition, won by
Lundgaard & Tranberg, consisted of a new faculty building and
an overall plan for the future expansion of the entire CBS
campus.

The new faculty building is situated on a tapering site, framing
the longitudinal main footpath through the campus area, and
rounding off the campus area towards Solbjerg Place.

Named the "Wedge," because of its wedge-shaped geometry, the
main body of the 4-story building rests on an organically shaped
one-story base that appears as an extension of the campus
landscape.

Two equally important entrances take the form of passages
through the ground floor landscape where the most public areas,
café, lounge and study places, are located on stepped
platforms.

The interior is organized around a 5-story atrium, the unifying
spatial focus, where two glass elevators and a spiral staircase
connect to the upper floors.

Large circular skylights draws daylight into the depth of the
building. There are few fixed elements which allows for flexible
room sizes with access from the open walkways around the
atrium.

The atrium also forms part of the climate control system, based
primarily on natural ventilation.

The exterior is characterised by floor high shutters in various
materials, giving the building an always changing facade determined
by the weather, the time of day or night, and the changing
activities behind the facade.

The expansion of the campus area will take place in step with
changing needs, ensuring at all times that the campus area retains
its unified look, tied together by a few distinct landscape
elements: a central promenade, gently undulating lawns and a number
of large groves of red oak.
